for what do you hunger?
i cannot believe i get to tell you this: my adult debut has been pre-empted by the astonishingly talented team at Bonnier Books/Manilla Press
HUNGERSTONE is a sapphic gothic story inspired by Carmilla, the vampire novel before Dracula

if Bitterthorn is love & loneliness, Hungerstone is rage & revelation, power & powerlessness, agency & ambition, desire & destruction
just as personal as bitterthorn, but not as soft. it is sharp edges & dark currents. it is turning over a log & seeing the insects squirm.
1888, desperate, damaged Lenore is trapped in a loveless marriage, heading to the wilds of the peak district with her steel baron husband, when she rescues Carmilla from a carriage crash.
Carmilla who is so wan & listless during the day yet vivacious at night. Carmilla who cannot bear the sound of church bells and delights in cruelty. Carmilla who sees the truth of Lenore, and wakes something deep and angry within her.
something hungry.
coming spring 2025, HUNGERSTONE wouldn't have been possible without so many of my wonderful friends, my tireless agent Hellie Ogden and as always shout out to my therapist!!
